This horrible dresser appears to have been only recently vacated by an incontinent cat. Ew. But forget about that for a second and check out the after. What the?! Woah, right? How did Kristy get so much design and detail into the drawers and side? Well, turns out that the dresser already had these details pressed into the lightweight wood, (which couldn’t be sanded, thus explaining the puddles of stripper and acetate, and not … you know). Kristy knew just how to coax them out. I think it’s beautiful.
See the process on her blog 4 the Love of Wood.

That is an astonishing transformation!
Since I have pretty bad morning sickness right now, the thought of an incontinent cat really hit me hard but the finished product has no signs of it’s former yuckiness! The new finish makes the carving look soooo pretty!

August 12, 2011 at 3:00 PMSo pretty! I know it could not have been fun stripping all that detail in the wood but SO worth it! Beautiful!
